The highly anticipated
crossover event between The CW's The Flash and Arrow kicks off tonight with
Oliver helping out Barry, and ends tomorrow with Barry returning the favor. In
a recent interview to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg
offered some new details on the first episode of the event.
"A mysterious man who
kills someone with a boomerang is what brings them to Central City, but they
then get caught up with Barry’s latest metahuman investigation of Roy G.
Bivolo, who is robbing banks by inducing uncontrollable rage in the patrons of
the bank. At first, Oliver is not too keen on helping Barry with his
investigation, but pretty soon he and Felicity and Dig get swept up in
it."
There are many theories as to
who the Reverse-Flash is, and since he will make his debut in the episode after
the crossover event, will we tonight see something of him?
"The best special
episodes—especially when you think back to “Once More, with Feeling” on
Buffy—are not just gimmicks, they also really enhance the plot and the
character arcs. This episode really does that, especially where Eddie is
concerned. It all comes out in this episode that Iris has started a
correspondence with The Flash that has turned into them meeting together, which
is not something that Eddie approves of. The events of this episode, both the
Arrow showing up and The Flash getting whammied, only increase Eddie’s desire
to see The Flash unmasked and brought down."
Tonight's episode will also see Detective Joe West, and Dr. Harrison Wells (whom not always see eye to eye) agreeing that Arrow is "bad news", and not a good influence on Barry.
"What’s interesting in
this episode is that Joe and Wells, who normally have a tension between them,
are actually in complete agreement that the Arrow is bad news and should leave
town as soon as possible. So much of these two episodes are really examining
the very different kinds of heroes that Barry and Oliver have become. Joe and
Wells share this view that the Arrow is dangerous and unstable and not the kind
of hero that Barry should be emulating. What’s interesting about these episodes
is that they’re both validated in some ways, but Oliver actually really learns
something through the course of these episodes. He grows from them, too, so
it’s really special that these shows can speak to each other in that way. As
much as we’ve seen so far in the series that Oliver’s had a tremendous impact
on Barry’s life, we’re also seeing that Barry has had an impact on Oliver’s
life as well."
How excited are you for
tonight's Flash episode?
